<!-- mcp-name: io.github.phil-bryant/spot-ai-mcp -->

spot-ai-mcp

Unofficial community MCP server for the Spot AI camera / video-intelligence REST API. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Spot AI.

Single-file, stdio transport, no dependencies beyond Python 3.9+. Read-only by design: it can browse cameras and intelligence data but can never modify anything in your Spot AI org. Every tool wraps a GET endpoint except getlivestream_urls, which wraps POST /v1/cameras/live — a read-like POST that only generates a viewing URL. All tools declare the readOnlyHint: true MCP annotation.

Install

uvx spot-ai-mcp

or pip install spot-ai-mcp, or run straight from a checkout with python3 -m spotaimcp (no dependencies to install).

Register with Claude Code:

claude mcp add spot-ai -s user -e SPOT_AI_API_KEY=YOUR_KEY -- uvx spot-ai-mcp

API key

Create a key in the Spot AI dashboard's API settings, then add an authorization (a role, e.g. Owner, optionally scoped) on the key's settings page. A key without a role returns empty lists from every resource endpoint while getcameracount still works — that's the tell.

The server resolves the key lazily on the first API call:

the server runs $SPOTAIOPBIN -f $SPOTAIOPITEM $SPOTAIOPFIELD (defaults 1psa -f spot.ai apikey, per 1psa, a vault-scoped 1Password service-account CLI). Point these at any command with the same flag convention.

  1. SPOTAIAPI_KEY environment variable — the normal path.
  2. Optionally, a secret-helper command, so the key never sits in an env var or config:

The key is never written to disk or config by this server.

Notes

(server/discover, spec 2026-07-28) and the legacy initialize handshake (2024-11-05 through 2025-06-18), so old and new clients both work.

  • Dual-era MCP server: speaks both the modern per-request protocol

the server sends User-Agent: spot-ai-mcp/.

  • Base URL is https://dev-api.spot.ai, auth is Authorization: Bearer .
  • Cloudflare in front of the API rejects Python's default user agent with error 1010;
